1 Opportunities and Challenges for Commercialization of Fuel Cells Ajay K. Prasad Professor, Department of Mechanical Engineering Director, Center for Fuel Cell Research Director, UD Fuel Cell Bus Program University of Delaware 2014 UDEI Annual Symposium May 14, 2014
2 Growing Interest in Fuel Cells Antarctic ice sheet collapse underway- Washington Post Atmospheric CO2 A large sector of the West Antarctic ice sheet has gone into irreversible retreat. It has passed the point of no return. Eric Rignot, UC Irvine in the New York Times.
3 Where do CO2 emissions come from? 70% of petroleum in the US is used for transportation (diesel, gasoline, jet fuel) There are approximately one billion vehicles worldwide in operation today
4 What is a Fuel Cell? Hydrogen Fuel Cell Oxygen Heat Electric power Water A fuel cell combines fuel and oxidant electrochemically to produce electricity Two to three times more efficient that an internal combustion engine Fuel cell stack is quiet, has no moving parts, produces zero emissions
5 H 2 Load e - Air Anode H + Cathode NIST Bipolar plate Gas Diffusion Layer Anode Reaction 2H 2 4H + + 4e - Membrane Electrode Assembly Gas Diffusion Layer Bipolar plate Cell voltage = 0.6V Cathode Reaction O 2 + 4H + + 4e - 2H 2 O
6 NREL Fuel cell stack
7 Honda FCX Clarity Launched in 2008; World Green Car 2009 About 25 FCXs being leased in CA; $600/month (incl. maintenance and insurance) Launch of Honda s next-gen FCEV Concept in 2015 with 33% smaller fuel cell stack
8 GM s Chevrolet Equinox FCV 119-vehicle Project Driveway Program in CA (2007) More than 5,000 drivers 3 million hydrogen-powered miles
9 Millions of vehicles Toyota to launch hydrogen-powered car in 2015 Initial launch in CA (SF Bay Area, LA, Orange County, San Diego) Toyota FCV 68 filling stations to handle 10,000 FCVs Toyota Hybrid Sales (cum.) $200 million from CA for 20 new stations by 2015, 40 by 2016, and 100 by Prius launched FCV to be launched
10 Hyundai Tucson FCV can be leased starting 2015 Tucson FCV $499/month (Including fuel and maintenance) $2,999 due at lease signing 36-month lease Up to 1,000 Tucsons/year depending on sales Limited to CA
11 Mercedes-Benz could launch next fuel cell car in 2017
12 Recent announcements by automotive companies GM, Honda to collaborate on next-gen fuel cell technologies Goal is commercially feasible fuel cell and hydrogen storage in 2020 time frame GM and Honda rank #1 and #2 in total fuel cell patents filed between 2002 and 2012 More than 1,200 patents between them Ford, Nissan, Daimler to jointly develop a mass-market hydrogen fuel-cell car by 2017 Maximize economies of scale by sharing investment costs Resulting fuel cell will be used to launch highly differentiated, separately branded FCEVs BMW, Toyota to jointly develop fuel cell system for production cars (fuel cell stack, hydrogen tank, electric motor, and battery)

15 Fuel cells for materials handling Compared to conventional forklifts, fuelcell-powered forklifts: Produce no local emissions Can operate in stringent food industry applications Quick refueling compared to batterypowered forklifts Can work in refrigerated warehouses unlike Li-ion battery powered forklifts Over 4,000 fuel cell forklifts in operation in 2013 in the US (SYSCO, Coca-Cola, Wegmans, Whole Foods, FedEx, etc.) Annual forklift sales ~1 million ($30 billion) Plug Power to supply Walmart with 1,738 GenDrive fuel cell forklifts
16 Pros and Cons of Fuel Cells Advantages of Fuel Cells Challenges Facing Fuel Cells 1. Higher efficiency compared to IC engines 2. Zero emissions at the point-of-use 3. No moving parts in the stack, so quieter 1. Cost (materials, labor, economy of scale) 2. Durability (membrane, catalyst) 3. Lack of H2 Infrastructure: H2 is difficult to produce, transport, and store
